Chapter 16

Madeline sat beside her son and helped groom his soft hair.

Thomas's downy head of hair was so fluffy!

"Um…"

"Thomas, I gave you a tracker. Did you plant it on Noah?"

"Hehe, you really are the smartest mom in the world!" Thomas tried to flatter her while drinking his chocolate milk.

"Give me your phone. Now!"

Madeline's expression suddenly grew severe. She took his cell phone and cut off the signal source of the tracker. Nimble fingers typed in a series of codes until the red button of the tracker restarted with a beep. It was only then that she stopped.

"Are you worried they'll counterattack me, Ma?"

"You're not completely stupid at least. The counterattack is one thing. What's more concerning is that they might track the traces you leave behind. Tell me what would happen if Noah finds both you and his prized son, Colton Quincy, together…?"

"I'll be exposed! You're a genius, Mom! But you seem to have connected the tracker elsewhere. Who did you target?"

Thomas gave his mother a look of adoration.

Madeline couldn't help but twitch when she studied his excited expression.

"Damn punk! Now that you're back, I'll arrange for a chopper to take you back first thing in the morning. Sleep early tonight…"

Madeline grabbed the child as she spoke.

Of course, Thomas would refuse and avoid her with deft steps. "No way! I haven't even given the scumbag a hard time yet! I won't leave! I'm staying to fight alongside you, Mom!"

He ran circles around the couch while he continued to bargain.

"You'll be doing me a huge favor if Noah doesn't find you!" Madeline kept chasing after her son to no avail. How can this brat be this hard to catch?!
